About this listen

This is a story from the Dubliners, Volume 1 collection.

James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of short stories about the lives of the people of Dublin around the turn of the century. Each story describes a small but significant moment of crisis or revelation in the life of a particular Dubliner, sympathetically but always with stark honesty. Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it. This work holds none of the difficulties of Joyce's later novels, such as Ulysses, yet in its way it is just as radical. These stories introduce us to the city which fed Joyce's entire creative output, and to many of the characters who made it such a well of literary inspiration.

Editorial reviews

Award-winning narrator Jim Norton is well known for his exquisitely tuned performances of James Joyce's work, and he does not disappoint with this story from Joyce's collection Dubliners. Norton tells the story of two scoundrels, Lenehan and Corley, as they plot to take advantage of a maid who has fallen for Corley. Norton's conversational approach captures the pair's braggadocio and moments of vulnerability with equal aplomb. Listeners will find themselves caught up by the rise and fall of Norton's voice as he lingers over Joyce's sharply-observed details.
